The Accra Circuit Court has refused to grant an arrest warrant against self-styled evangelist, Patricia Asiedu also known as Nana Agradaa despite her failure to appear in court on Wednesday.
Nana Agradaa, who is on trial for counts of charlatanic advertisements and defrauding by false pretense, did not show up in court on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, for two separate cases she is standing trial for.
The prosecutor in the case in which she is alleged to have swindled some members of her church asked for an arrest warrant to compel her appearance in court.
But the lawyer for Nana Agradaa prayed the court against the request as his client was not in good health.
The judge, after considering the arguments, cautioned Nana Agradaa’s lawyer to make sure his client is always in court.
Background
The founder of Heavenway Champion International Ministry, Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng, fondly called Mama Pat is on the discussion board once again as members of her church has accused her allegedly defrauding them.
According to victims, Mama Pat had earlier announced that, she would be giving out money to persons who want to start business adding that, congregants will receive double amount of the money they first offer her (Agradaa).
The exciting news attracted many people to her church on Saturday with several people giving out their money to her (Agradaa) with hopes of having it in ten-folds as earlier promised.
Victims, however, ended up being disappointed after Nana Agradaa shut her church doors and left the church premises after delivering a sermon. Videos circulating online shows affected members wailing and protesting at her church premises in Weija to demand a refund of their money.
